50 Quotes That Will Free Your Mind

We are our thoughts. We cannot change anything
if we cannot change our thinking.

You have a train of thought on which you ride when you are alone and quietly thinking. The self-worth you feel, as well as the happiness your life brings, depends upon the direction in which this train is moving, the baggage it carries and the emotional space through which it travels. Between life’s stimulus and your reaction is where this space exists; within it is your power to choose how you react, and in your reaction lies your growth, freedom and happiness.

If you truly want to change your life, you must first change your mind. You must free it from the restrictive thinking that holds you back.

I was so moved when I read your quote, “It’s not my fault but it is my problem” that I couldn’t finish the rest.

There is something to be learned from every difficult issue we’re confronted with even if we did nothing to cause or provoke it. We can blame and complain, we can react rather than respond, we can perpetuate the problem with revenge rather than solution. I have some difficult issues at my job that I did not cause but have not always responded to in a constructive, problem solving way and I have been working on my attitude about it. This quote nails it. Thank you so much.

“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.”

I watched my amazing father pass away in October and as he was passing he said he would just play the cards he was delt and be happy with the life he has to live. Everyday is a gift and not everyday is good but there is good in everyday. Attitude often changes gratitude.
